27. And then his disciples arrived. And they wondered that he was speaking with the woman. Yet no one said: "What are you seeking?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"
28. And so the woman left behind her water jar and went into the city. And she said to the men there:
29. "Come and see a man who has told me all the things that I have done. Is he not the Christ?"
30. Therefore, they went out of the city and came to him.
31. Meanwhile, the disciples petitioned him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32. But he said to them, "I have food to eat which you do not know."
33. Therefore, the disciples said to one another, "Could someone have brought him something to eat?"
34. Jesus said to them: "My food is to do the will of the One who sent me, so that I may perfect his work.
35. Do you not say, 'There are still four months, and then the harvest arrives?' Behold, I say to you: Lift up your eyes and look at the countryside; for it is already ripe for the harvest.
36. For he who reaps, receives wages and gathers fruit unto eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
37. For in this the word is true: that it is one who sows, and it is another who reaps.
38. I have sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."
39. Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him, because of the word of the woman who was offering testimony: "For he told me all the things that I have done."
40. Therefore, when the Samaritans had come to him, they petitioned him to lodge there. And he lodged there for two days.
41. And many more believed in him, because of his own word.
42. And they said to the woman: "Now we believe, not because of your speech, but because we ourselves have heard him, and so we know that he is truly the Savior of the world."
43. Then, after two days, he departed from there, and he traveled into Galilee.
44. For Jesus himself offered testimony that a Prophet has no honor in his own country.
